Seven Red Signals

So a tube driver goes through seven red signals in a row. That in my books is endangering the passengers lives he was put in charge of and the lives of the passengers in the preceding train.
So what do London Underground do? Demote him. Well thats not good enough. This man is still able to put passengers lives ay risk.

And what do the Union do? Well what would you do? Go on strike of course.

As I am sure all tube passengers would agree with me this state of affairs is appalling. Tube driver Unions use safety as an issue every single time they don't get their demands and this time they are backing someone who has put lives at risk.

Some tube drivers are decent people doing a hard job and others should not be allowed near a train, even to write down its number.

Greg Wright:

I agree Simon... utterly ridiculous and yet another indication of the social & political mess the UK has become under Labour.

It's almost like the health service going on strike because someone complained about the new Harold Shipman-endorsed insulin administering courses.

Merry Christmas & a very Happy New Year to Paula & yourself.
